Lunchin' Love Notes

Since Lil O was really a little O, Mr. UpCyclist and I have been writing her a lunchbox love note daily (when she's in school).  To date, we're probably written close to 500 of them, which means I've made close to 500 of them.

And, I must say, I never get bored of making them.  This time, I even used Upcycled Education stamps.  Can you spot the I really, really like stamp above?  Or Thank you?  Or Today I learned?  Plus, I have sooooo many carnival tickets from a recent project that I decided to sew some of those together, too.  I love making these.  I get to use all my stuff - scraps, sewing machine, stamps, washi tape and odds & ends for a great cause - Lil O!

Happy,

Jen

Since Mr. UpCyclist, Lil O and I all bring a packed lunch to school/work daily, I might need to try this cute sticker idea during the school year.

Thanks, Oh Happy Day, for sharing it!

{Free} Sandwich Container for Kids!

I've been meaning to write a lunch series as our family packs 2-3 lunches a day and almost all of the contents are waste-free.  We use nifty containers and things to make packing lunches faux fun and doable.  In the meantime since I am bogged down with my college students' final exams, you'll have to find the nearest kid and ask them to draw some artwork for Rudi's Organic Bakery's free sandwich box giveaway.  Yep, all free.  Rudi's will even cover the expense to ship the lunch box container to you.  Kind, no?


See what you think here.   The only catch is you have to "like" Rudi's on Facebook, upload your image via their Facebook page and order by June 30th.  Lil O will be designing her artwork soon.  We She loves this kind of stuff.

Big ole' thanks to Rudi's,

Jen

PS - Figures Rudi's is a Colorado company.  You know how I adore Colorado and its awesome spirit.
